Cupcake For You

I have to say, making this card was a lot of fun! n case you haven't picked up on it just yet, I will tell you that I LOVE to color! And this cute stamp from Penny Black called Cupcake For You was loads of fun to color!

I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow Markers . It was then cut and embossed using Spellbinders Labels Eight Nestabilities . The edges were sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink .


The icing on the cupcake was glitzed using Frosted Lace Stickles . I added JudiKins Diamond Glaze to the red balloon.

The designer paper is from the October Afternoon Fly A Kite paper pad. I added a strip of Maya Road Turquoise Vintage Trim and some buttons from my stash. The buttons were threaded with Burlap String from May Arts.

That's it for me today. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Many Thanks!

Many thanks for all the birthday wishes! I have to say that I think I heard from everyone that is near and dear to me...either by email, card, phone or Facebook. What a special day it was!!!
After celebrating my birthday with a fabulous lunch, manicure and pedicure, I came home to do a little stamping! The image I chose to use for this card is Helz Cuppleditch's Flower Planters from Stampavie .

I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder then colored with Tombow Markers .

The image was cut and embossed with a Spellbinders oval, then framed with a Big Scalloped Oval Nestability.

The designer paper is from the Basic Grey Kiosh paper pad. The cardstock is all from the Amethyst Prismatics paper trio. The flowers are from Prima.

Well, it's Monday again, and back to the ole grind! Ugh!

Baroque Happy Birthday

I am really enjoying the new JustRite Nested Frames. For this card I used the Baroque Nested Centers & Frames . I stamped with Peeled Paint Distress Ink then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. I used foam tape for dimension, and added Mini Pearls to embellish.

The frame behind the sentiment panels is the new Sizzix Frame Back Ornate #6 . I altered it slightly to fit the largest JustRite frame. The designer paper is all from the Prismatics Spring Willow Trio . The designer paper is from Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage.

The stamp is from the newest Penny Black release, and is called Sweet Thing . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine , embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder, then colored with Tombow Markers . I added a touch of Stickles Glitter Glue to the wings and center of the flower.

The image was cut and embossed with a Spellbinders square. It was framed using Spellbinders Big Scalloped Squares . The cardstock is all three colors from the Pink Prismatics Trio . The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye. I added two Robin's Nest Dew Drops to the bottom for added texture.

That's it for me today. I hope you all enjoy Father's Day with someone near and dear to your heart. Until next time...

Adorable New Penny Black Images!

Just released...new Mimi and Betsy images from Penny Black . Be sure to see them in the store, or check the New Arrivals section for all of the latest additions.

Masculine Hedgie Birthday

Well, that was my intent anyway. With four grandsons I am always in need of "boy cards". Apparently I lost sight of my goal here. I was doing fine with the masculine part until I added the bow! Darn!

When I saw Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch this week I knew I wanted to play along with her layout. For some reason, that is always the hardest part of a card for me, so I appreciate all the help I can get with the sketch!

And have you noticed that I've been working outside my comfort zone with color choices? I don't know WHAT'S up with THAT! It's so unlike me!

I used the new Penny Black To Cake Moment to stamp on watercolor paper, then colored with Tombow Markers . I stamped just his feet on a scrap, colored them, cut them out and popped them up with foam tape. I added a bit of Stardust Stickles to the cake icing, simply because I wanted a little sparkle.

The edges of the main panel were sponged with Tim Holtz Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. The frame behind the main image was cut and embossed using Papaya Puree Prismatics cardstock and Big Scalloped Circles Nestabilities.

All designer paper is from the Basic Grey Green At Heart 6 x 6 paper pad. The ribbon for the bow is May Arts 5/8" Ivory Sheer .

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to stop by. I will be back soon with something new.

JustRite New Release!

Today The Dream Team is blogging with the *NEW* JustRite Stampers release!

For my card I chose to use the Victorian Nested Frames with a sentiment from the Cherish The Memories Nested Centers & Verses set. I used both sizes of the new Clear Horizontal Stamper Set to stamp each of the frames and the sentiment. The cardstock used is all three shades from the Blush Red Prismatics paper trio.

The background layer is Blush Red Light embossed using Tim Holtz Regal Flourishes Texture Fades embossing folder. I just love it that it's large enough to emboss the entire card front, and it embossed very deeply.

The frame is Frame Back Ornate #8 from Sizzix. I adjusted it to fit the larger JustRite Frame. The strip across the center was cut using my Tim Holtz Ornate On The Edge Alterations Die. I embellished using clear and red rhinestones from Kaisercraft, as well as Mini Rhinestones from Zva Creative.

Please be sure not to miss what the rest of the design team has in store for you today. Here is the lineup:
